Such charts are often referred to as donut charts. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 10-14 .. code-block:: default import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 15-26 The most straightforward way to build a pie chart is to use the `~matplotlib.axes.Axes.pie` method. In this case, pie takes values corresponding to counts in a group. We'll first generate some fake data, corresponding to three groups. In the inner circle, we'll treat each number as belonging to its own group. In the outer circle, we'll plot them as members of their original 3 groups. The effect of the donut shape is achieved by setting a ``width`` to the pie's wedges through the *wedgeprops* argument. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 47-54 However, you can accomplish the same output by using a bar plot on axes with a polar coordinate system. This may give more flexibility on the exact design of the plot. In this case, we need to map x-values of the bar chart onto radians of a circle. The cumulative sum of the values are used as the edges of the bars. ..
